Jquery load HTML file but exclude some tags

I want to load (ie: embed) a HTML file into a DIV however I need to exclude some tags and divs. For example I do not want to load the <div id="nav">. I only have javascript/jquery available. (I cannot use any server side scripting).

I can use Jquery .load function to load an entire HTML page into a div, but I only want to load some parts. Is this possible?

You can do something like this with jquery ajax however older versions of IE may be problematic. #container is the selector of the element you want to load from the other page.
$("#myModal").load("modal.html
